Swc Round 2 Coventry 14th July
Trees replied to skid row's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Olly Allen certainly didn't sulk, he rode well in 2 of his races I saw! So don't tar them all with the same brush!! How clever! Nah, I've seen them ride well, haven't you? Not consistently granted but I definitely have! Perhaps what they need on their side is some clever, technically gifted speedway people. -
Swc Round 2 Coventry 14th July
Trees replied to skid row's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Hmmmmmmmmmm that was a tad embarrasing to say the least, it's not cos our riders are crap cos on their day they can beat the best, they'll have to work out what went wrong and hopefully put things to rights on Thursday. They must compare themselves to the danes and swedes and see what the difference is because there is a difference ....................... -
Yeah I'm waiting for them to get to the position where no team will want to win their qualifier ................ that'll be a laugh!

Was the track the norm for Leszno last night? The lines didn't seem to work for the riders like they have in the past .................... making it not such an exciting meeting as it should have been imo? The crowd looked pretty sparse too, were the prices too high for the poles to attend?

Nooooooo, perlease! Just keep calm and collected Nige

G P Pay Rates
Trees replied to billybikespeedway's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Oh so the BSPA didn't keep it all to themselves eh!! Perhaps IMG/BSI pay the riders a bonus? Jeff? -
He can have a speedway career, just not at the highest level. All depends what he wants out of his career doesn't it, I guess everyone who makes it to the top of any profession has to make sacrifice.

Polish Ref Out Of Gps
Trees replied to pirate paul's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Comes all a bit late for Adams and Pedersen though .................... maybe lessons should be learnt from this and 3 refs should be on duty at the GPs to make sure the rider's receive the right result!! -
Sounds to me as if IMG really are trying hard to get their rent down at the Millennium stadium What the the hotel problem and now Wembley raring it's head!

Referee Needs To Go To Specsavers
Trees replied to sirmattyisbac's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup

** Cardiff Gp Music / Presentation **
Trees replied to SpeedwayTShirts's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
You're behind the times we've certainly had riders tunes for years at Lynn, probably since Parks rode for Lynn. Can't comment on the live music at Cardiff but from what I heard on the tv it sounded good and got the crowd going .............. -

Trees replied to PhilK's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Perhaps that's why the fans were booing Nicki, because they thought he did just this? -
Referee Needs To Go To Specsavers

Oww never thought of that one before with betting being allowed within speedway -
The Cardiff Grand Prix Discussion Thread
Trees replied to PhilK's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Exactly these aren't "just" tracks they are GP, world championship tracks and are turning our sport into a farce and injuring the riders. The riders put on a brave, tough face and say it's the same for everyone but is it really fair for them to have to take their lives in the hands even more than they already do racing speedway. But they're the only ones who can do anything about it, the fans can pass opinion all they like but the riders need to stand up for what is right, Leigh Adams had no problem at Lynn so what's the difference here!! It's the same with that ref, they'll have to send the FIM a letter saying they will not race if that guy is officiating although surely after that performance he will be dropped from all speedway refereeing for life? Thanks for putting me right m8 -
The Cardiff Grand Prix Discussion Thread
Trees replied to PhilK's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
No, the ref did wrong but the rules are also wrong in that riders can go across the rest of the field like they can from gate 4, things like this are bound to happen, bring back the old rule where riders are not allowed to turn until a certain point after the start, can't remember now whether it was 10 or 15 yards. -
The Cardiff Grand Prix Discussion Thread
Trees replied to PhilK's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup

Trees replied to PhilK's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup

Looks Like A Record
Trees replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Oh and I bet IMG loved the falls and injuries too .................. bloody wonderful GP! I find it hard to believe that the riders agree to race on tracks like these! -
If speedway still had the 30 yard marker people wouldn't be booing him, it's the rules that need changing and sack that ref of course!!!!

He sure is, of Stephen who rode for King's Lynn many moons ago. He had a practice at Lynn last week, looked good to me so it will be interesting to see how he goes. -
